I had a diary on old forum under the username Short Drink Of Water about by experiences with LL in Serbia, but then I had a fallout with old forum and was banned, then unbanned, then banned again, and I don't know if I eventually got unbanned again or not. My diary also suffered a similar fate, getting taken down, put back up, and then taken down again. Is it up now? Who knows....
I noticed a lot of old forum 's snarky tips (one of which was pretty much directed at me personally - the one about how you should close your browser now if you're on antidepressants because that site and LL aren't for you) are still on the banners there under the administration of SysOp, so I don't really feel comfortable going back and posting there again. It seems like that place went from being one narcissist's ego trip to another's without missing a beat. "Prophet of LL" my ass, you conceited prick.
If you didn't guess by my new username, I did end up having a successful LL experience in 2007 in Beijing and went from 5'7 to 5'10, so I think of myself as a "happy Medium" now. I've decided to write the diary I wanted to write in 2007 but never did, based on my memories and archived emails from while I was there. If you all are interested in hearing my story here, post a reply and let me know. If enough people are interested I'll start writing it.
